Wish we had more time here. Location was perfect for a family with young kids. Less than 5 minutes to kid friendly trails and a quick walk to the light house. The hosts were super responsive whenever we reached out.

Very quiet and comfortable - nice place to unwind after a busy day at Acadia! Only issue was that it was very dark (no outdoor light) when we checked in and the stairs to walk up to front door had no railing (which was a little tricky for my wife and her bad knee).

Excellent house at a great location

My friends and I recently stayed here for a friends trip. The house was even better in person, very clean, extremely well stocked, and in a great location. Walking distance to the Bass Harbor lighthouse. Highly reccomend staying here for your next vacation!!!! One of the best rentals I have ever stayed at.

Family vacation

Visting Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor was amazing. Lobster rolls like no other in South Harbor. The home we stayed in was lovely and met all our needs. Beautiful property in a great location. Loved seeing the deer out front when we arrived.

Peaceful Getaway

We loved our time in Bass Harbor. The house had everything we needed. It was close enough to Bar Harbor and Southeast Harbor, but far enough away to be quiet. We loved exploring Seawall and the nature cruise we took.

Well-Appointed House, Quiet Stay, Great Location

Joseph and Christina's house is a quiet, clean, well-appointed house in a great location. It's on the quieter side of Mt. Desert Island (which was great for our family). Bass Harbor Head Light is right down the road (walking distance), and the lovely little town of Southwest Harbor is a short drive up the road. Bar Harbor and the big sights in Acadia NP are a just a short drive away. We loved our stay at Driftwood.

We couldn’t be happier with our stay at Driftwood cottage! It worked perfectly for our large family. The house is very thoughtfully stocked so a family with kids (or pets) could stay comfortably for a week- a pack and play, kid potty seat, step stools, kids dish ware, and even has a swing set! The toys, art supplies, and Maine-themed children’s books went a long way too. Cooking accessories and pantry stock items, laundry supplies, and coffee were also provided. We loved the large flat grassy yard and the option to use the fire pit and the large front deck for dinners and morning coffee. The house slept 7 of us comfortably and was beautifully decorated with a nautical theme. The location in Bass Harbor was lovely- close enough to the ocean to hear the channel markers ring gently but also private and rustic enough to relax and rest. The drive to Bar Harbor and Acadia took about 35 mins, but was incredibly pleasant- crossing through quaint local towns and harbors on the way with local restaurants and shops, plus gorgeous views. The hosts were incredibly responsive and kind. The price was incredibly reasonable for all the resources, especially for a large family during peak tourism season. We would definitely stay here again!

Amazing place to stay

Enjoyed staying at this property. It was very close to a bunch of major locations as well as a great restaurant called Archie’s lobster. We were able to get to a lot of the Arcadia attractions with 20 minutes, which is exactly what we were looking for. We were far enough away that we were in the middle of the woods. The kitchen was well stocked, and they had so much firewood to enjoy in the evenings. Thanks for the amazing stay.

Great house, great location

This was probably one of the best stocked vocational rentals we have ever stayed in. Everything you need is provided. The place was so clean and was the perfect size for a family of 4 with two teenage boys. The location was amazing. It is just a half mile walk from the house to the bass harbor lighthouse and 25 minutes from the Acadia visitors center and the start of the park loop road.
